Network Access

The Network Access option in the Instant On mobile app, allows you to configure network access restrictions for wireless clients based on IP destination addresses.

The following procedure configures network access restrictions on a wireless network:

1. Tap Active Networks () tile on the Instant On home page and select an employee or guest network from the list. The network details page is displayed.
2. Under More options, tap Network access. The Network Access screen is displayed.
3. Configure one of the of the following settings on your network:
   • Unrestricted access (default)—This is the default setting for Employee networks. This option allows users to access any destination available to the network.
   • Restricted access—This is the default setting for Guest networks. This option restricts users to access only the internet and prevents them from accessing internal network resources. To allow the users to access specific network resources, enter the IP address in the list of IP addresses and tap .

     If the Instant On AP is deployed in the Router mode, configure one of the following Restricted access settings:

     • Allow internet access—Allows the client to access the Internet.
     • Allow network access—Allows traffic between clients of the same subnet and blocks the traffic to other subnets.
     • Allow specific IP address—Allows the client to access specific resources using an IP address. Enter the IP address in the list of IP addresses and tap.

Allowed Clients

The Specific Clients feature is used to provide network access only to the clients that are added to the list. This feature is available only on employee networks that are configured with a network password (PSK) authentication. The Specific Clients setting is disabled by default. This setting can be enabled per-network and not globally. Each applicable network can have its own list of allowed clients. You can add a maximum of 256 wireless clients to the Allowed Clients list.

The following procedure describes how to enable and edit the allowed clients list:

1. Tap Active Networks () tile on the Instant On home page and select an employee network with from the list. The network details page is displayed.
2. Under More options, tap Network access. The Network Access screen is displayed.
3. Under Allowed Clients, slide the toggle switch () next to Use allowed client list to enable the setting.
4. Tap Edit allowed client list.
5. Tap the add () icon and then tap on Search for new clients. The Instant Ondevices begins scanning for nearby clients that are available to connect to the network.
6. Choose the clients that should be added to the Allowed Clients list.

   After selecting the clients from the Add Clients wizard, the allowed clients can connect to a specific network with the correct PSK key, and only then will the clients appear in the "Allowed Clients" list.

7. Tap Done.

Once the changes are saved, the connected wireless clients that are not in the Allowed Clients list will be disconnected immediately.
